Construction & materials

	Helix Midnight	BedInABox Original
Layers	Helix Two Touch Design, Memory Plus Foam, High-Grade Polyfoam, Wrapped Coils, DuraDense Foam.	Density CoolRest® Advanced Memory Foam, Density High Quality Sure Align Support Foam, Smooth Knit Cover.
Cover	Helix Two Touch Design. Each mattress comes with a top cover layer with stretch and a soft touch as well as a lower cover layer for airflow and breathability. Top cover - 100% soft polyester. Lower cover - Jersey knit fabric with woven fire barrier. Upgrade to ultra cool knit cover for cooler nights (available at checkout). This Ultra-Cool Cover is designed using phase change material to keep your body cool when you sleep. Simply zip on the Ultra-Cool Cover in place of your standard cover for quick and easy use.	Soft polyester knit cover for comfort and stretch, perfect for memory foam. Polyester fabrics and fibers are incredibly strong and durable, resists abrasion and dries quickly. Breathable for better temperature control. Accentuates the memory foam feel.
Machine-washable cover	No	No
Ergonomic handles	No	No
Comfort	Uniquely pressure relieving, we use Memory Plus Foam - a special Helix blend.	3 lb density memory foam rebounds (takes it shape) quicker making it easier to change positions. Open cell structure increases air flow, contributing to a cooler sleep.
Support	Specially designed using a Memory Plus Foam pressure relief layer to cushion your pressure points as a side sleeper. Density of the top and middle layers optimized to give you the right amount of support based on your body type. High-Grade Polyfoam. Providing ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a medium IFD to match your body type. Wrapped Coils. Hundreds of individual coils help to cradle your body while also limiting motion transfer. Edge Support. Each mattress has an individually wrapped spring unit with a reinforced perimeter. This means your mattress will reduce that roll-off feeling and will keep its shape more while sitting on the edge of the bed. Our technology is proven to be substantially better than all foam options.	The CoolRest® advanced memory foam has been softened (just slightly), creating more contouring qualities, while retaining the same great support. CoolRest® advanced memory foam perfectly contours to your body providing improved pressure relief to reduce tossing & turning. Sure Align support foam designed to support & correctly align your spine so you can sleep better. This works in tandem with the memory foam and provides perfect support for long lasting comfort and helps to distribute body weight evenly across the mattress.

FAQs

Helix Midnight

How soft is Helix Midnight?

The Helix Midnight has a firmness rating between 4 and 7 out of 10. The feel of the mattress may vary depending on the body type of the sleeper – it may feel medium-soft to heavier sleepers and medium-firm to lighter-weight sleepers.

Is the Helix Midnight suitable for heavy people?

The Helix Midnight offers good pressure relief and helps maintain a healthy spinal alignment, making it suitable for heavy people. However, it may not be supportive enough for heavy stomach sleepers.

Is the Helix Midnight suitable for hot sleepers?

Yes, the Helix Midnight is a good choice for hot sleepers as its coil layer promotes airflow throughout the bed, helping to keep the sleeper cool.

BedInABox Original

What sleep setup do you recommend for my BedInABox?

Each BedInABox® mattress is designed to work with any standard foundation. Foam mattresses need as much direct support under them as possible in order to properly support the sleepers. Keeping a slatted or platform foundation under your BedInABox® will help you avoid mattress sagging or breakdown of the memory foam. It is recommended to pair your BedInABox® mattress with the Clever Connect foundation or the MotionInABox™ Adjustable Frame.

Is there a weight limit on your mattresses?

BedInABox® uses high-quality support foam, so there are no weight limits for any of their memory foam mattresses. However, certain foundations do have weight limits. Their foundations are rated for up to 1000 lbs.

Why is BedInABox® the best Mattress in a Box?

BedInABox® claims to be the best Mattress in a Box because they are the only brand that makes their own foam, assembles every mattress, and ships it all from their own factory in North Carolina. This means that every component of your BedInABox® is made in America and under one roof.
